The seller was found by making calls on rental ads from the newspaper. After a short discussion, he informed us that he was not looking to purchase, but he had a multifamily that was listed with three different realtors from which there were no activity. Out of desperation, he practically threw it at us. All we could feel after that hit was, "ASSIGNMENT." We ran the numbers and met briefly with the seller who gave us a tour of the property. The property needs minor cosmetic work and has a possible sub-division. We also made a few phone calls to our list of buyers. The property was listed at $339K, comps range anywhere from $290-$390. Our offer was accepted at $230. The property is tenant occupied. We will be meeting with a couple of investors this week. This is amazing how keeping focus on one's journey leads to success.

Lucio, it was not easy in the beginning. However, we realized that working together makes more sense than working apart. We cannot wait to close on another deal, deal #3. We will keep you all in the loop. God Bless.

Trust me, everyone can do this. Singly, it will be difficult, find someone to partner with and get the deals going. We did it, you all can too. Defy fear and take action. It is only with action, success results. Good Luck and God Bless.

Hi Joe,
One the biggest inspiration to me on this site. Thank you from my heart for being the trend setter that you are. Keeping the strategy alive with all of the successes you and Mrs. Joe have shared with us. Many, Many nights when I was becoming frustrated with the criticsm from my surroundings. I would go to The DG site for inspiration. You were there with a positive confirmation. At one point. I was afraid you were going to think I was a stalker. Because everything I was concerned about some how your post would squash my fears and redirect me back to the right direction! I can't say thank you enough for all that you have contributed to all of us here. It's so amazing to see what one man with a great support system can do. Dean is a true gift for all to see! From my family to yours, Continued success..........Lubertha

Hi SanBern,
Great job in getting this property under contract! I trust you have at least two year's of P & L's on this income property and copy's of the tenats' leases alone with expiration dates. Your end buyer will want this information.
